FAQ
Posting bail helps individuals avoid the negative impacts of incarceration, such as loss of employment or disruption of family life. Preparing a Defense: Being out on bail allows defendants to work with their legal counsel to prepare their defense more effectively, gather evidence, and communicate with witnesses.
If bond is posted by the defendant, it will be applied to fines and costs. If you are posting a 10% bond, 90% of the bond will be used for fines and costs. The Court will retain 10% of the bond pursuant to Michigan Court Rule 6.106 (I)(1).
For example, in California, bail bond records are generally public and accessible via the Public Access to Court Electronic Records (PACER) system.
Anyone can post your bail bond. Usually you will go through a bail bondsman so you put up a small percentage of the bail, but you forfeit that once the bond a returned. To qualify you need to have credit and collateral. If your bail bond is $100K ...
No - if you signed the bond it doesn't matter whether you have a job or not - or whether the bondsman asked you if you did. You are liable as surety on the bond - having a job or not has nothing to do with your liability. Sorry.
In California, a bail bondsman typically has six months to find and return the defendant. If the defendant is not found in the timeframe, you will be responsible for paying not only the full amount of the bond, but also any additional expenses and any unpaid premiums.
The defendant can post their own bail or ask a family member or friend to post it. If the defendant uses a bond company, the company may require the defendant to have a co-signer (someone who will help the company find the defendant should they fail to appear).
